SRK Chooses A R Murugadoss Over Gautham Menon

After lots of speculations and guessing games, Shah Rukh Khan, who was said to be in a dilemma over choosing which South director to work for, has now decided to give the nod to the Hindi remake of A. R. Murugadoss' Tamil superhit flick Ramana instead of Gautham Menon's flick.

Sources had claimed that Khan was a bit hesitant about working for Menon, specially after his recent release Ekk Deewana Tha failed to make a splash at the box office and was in favour of working for Murugadoss, whose last release Ghajini starring Aamir Khan, was a superhit.

Ramana revolves around a honest professor, who takes on the corrupt system after suffering a personal tragedy and sources close to the King Khan say that the superstar is quite excited about the project as he has never played such a role before. Khan, who is shooting in London for Yash Chopra's untitled romantic flick, is expected to sigh the film as soon as he gets back.
